Catalytic Converter Anti-Theft Device for Toyota Tundra!

This is a catalytic converter anti-theft shield from Cap City Muffler I bought called The Cat Shield. This video shows it being installed on a 2019 Toyota Tundra. Portions of the installation process are shown along with the final result and opinion on it's effectiveness. Leave a comment below with any questions.

Been using riv-nuts for 30-some years ... great stuff where a nut cannot be reached. TIP: When drilling steel, run your drill as slow as possible. HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits work best if run at around 150 inches per minute (that's slow) ... they'll run cooler and stay sharp longer. I installed a 1/4" thick Talon's Garage cat-shield under my 2022 F250 with the 7.3L gas engine (2 cats).

Cost? Some may argue not to bother with a shield because insurance will cover replacements. I'm not worried about that as I'm more concerned with the inconvenience of going to all the trouble of getting 'em replaced should they be stolen. Over heat? Cats work better when hot ... they function by using the exhaust gases to make the internals glow red hot to burn up unburnt fuel particles.

Here is a tip for you Tundra owners who have the TRD skid plate and need to mount the security shield underneath it. Do Not install the side shields first, install them AFTER you have the main shield install 100%. If you install the side shields first, you will not have access to the front two top nuts.

Are there any studies or reports of these plates causing catalytic converters to over heat?

A shop in Albany Ca welds #60 rebar over the cats. I don't park my truck in Oakland so I don't need if I did that would be the way to go.

Well I wish this would work for my Tundra but I got a 6" lift and it won't work. I have to find some custom cat protection for mine.

Is this the "Ultimate" version

[aaronpolakiewicz]

How long did install take? Also does that back piece come with the ultimate kit thanks

[adalosorio]

When putting on the catalytic converter protection, is the screw to drain the engine oil covered?

I just had my cats stolen off my 18 tundra. 6-7k to fix from the dealership with a several month long wait. Buy the plate.

The one for my 06” accord doesn’t cover the entire cat. I don’t get it 🤔🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[wayned]

I bought the same thing. It’s way overpriced but it’s cheaper than cat converters.

My cat got stolen two weeks ago on the Prius. After getting the repairs done I had the cat shield installed by the muffler shop. I think anything that would make it more difficult to steal would help. The cat thieves are pretty brainless.

Is this hard to remove for routine maintenance?

[ZhiwuWang]

Do you have to take it off for oil change?

[kmsti]

I want one that has a "F you" cut into my shield.

[BoliTeK-lxof]

Why the fucking steal it when its fucking cheap part

[Sdukes]

This is dumb if they steal your cats they doing you a favor. If those cat stealer comes around he won’t find one but might find the barrel end of a firearm.
